I feel like I have looked all over this board for this particular issue with no luck, so I decided to ask.
I can't seem to program my ssc with the latest ss utility.
I have been able to use my pic 3 to install the test firmware to my ssc. I am using 11 physical square nodes that have the TM1804 purchased from Ray. With the test firmware I can get the first 3 squares to light correctly, and the rest seem to have issues, probably the 4th node has a problem, I can address that later. I have installed the firmware for the hub and the lynx dongle with the pixelnet, not DMX firmware, correct checksum. I plug the lynx dongle into the pixelnet input, using a straight through ethernet cable, hub is set with jumper shorted on 1 and 1, and then usb to my xp machine com3 FTDI driver version 2.8.14.0, smart string utility channel 1, individual pixels, forward, node count 11, 0 null node, square modules, com3, I get a very very faint green light pulsing (I get a strong green light with LSP data). I have the ssc plugged into any of the 16 outputs with the programming socket shorted (fuses are good).I try and transmit, and get no blinking on the nodes. I have checked all of my solder work, there is some flux, but I have never had an issue with that. I checked voltage at the beginning of the string and am getting 11.90v, 5v out of the 7805 and 3.3v out of the ld117. Any ideas would be a great help. I can post better pics if needed. Thanks!
